Where is the best nightlife in Calgary?

The thriving strip along 17th Avenue between Second and 14th Streets is home to dozens of bars, clubs and pubs catering to clientele ranging from upscale to hipster. There’s really something for everyone, whether you’re seeking a quiet glass of wine and a bit of jazz or a pint of a local microbrew with a live rock ‘n’ roll band.
